Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 4 large eggs, beaten with 2 tablespoons water and seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil or pure olive oil
  • Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
  • 1 pound fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • Fresh basil or parsley leaves, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in the flour and tap off excess, then dip in the egg and let excess drip off, then dredge on both sides in the bread crumbs.

Divide the oil between 2 large saute pans and heat over high heat until almost smoking. Add 2 chicken breasts to each pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and top each breast with some tomato sauce, a few slices of the mozzarella, salt and pepper, and a tablespoon of Parmesan. Bake in the oven until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with basil or parsley leaves.

Tomato Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large Spanish onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed with some kosher salt to make a paste
  • 2 (28-ounce) cans plum tomatoes and their juices, pureed in a blender
  • 1 (16-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 small can tomato paste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 small bunch Italian parsley
  • 1 Cubano chile pepper, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add pureed tomatoes with their juices, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, 1 cup water, bay leaf, parsley, Cubano pepper, and bring to a boil. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Reduce heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.

    I absolutely love this recipe! I follow the recipe because the chef is the expert here, but I resorted to tomato sauce in a jar because I work full-time and don't want to spend the entire evening in the kitchen. I imagine chef Flay's tomato sauce would have made it even better.You won't be disappointed if you try this.

    My g/f and I made the recipe last night -(Two Thumbs Way, Way Up!!!We have no idea why its labeled as an intermmediate difficulty level to prepare. We had no problem at all making it and actually thought it was quite simple. The only thing we changed from the original recipe was that we doubled the amount of basil

    Easy and delicious! I used jar sauce, though, otherwise I think I would have made Bobby proud!
